The name of our new student and athlete based OSU Fan Group

We're trying to create a massive, spirited group of OSU students and fans.

WE ARE AWARE OF NAME(S) THAT THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT HAS GIVEN US.

We are trying to create something that is for the students, by the students... not the Athletic Department (The Beaver Dam), not the entire stadium (Beaver Nation) <-- note, these are both options on the poll!

To all the people commenting:
THERE IS NO GROUP ON FACEBOOK... WE WANT TO MAKE THAT GROUP...

TO CREATE A FACEBOOK GROUP
c'mon folks...

Beaver Nation18 November 2008, from IP: 98.232.192.56 We are strong as Beaver Nation, thats how people know us. Lets keep it that way

beaver18 November 2008, from IP: 24.21.153.118 Dam Nation can be used in many different contexts... lets get creative.

"Beaver Nation" that's who we are18 November 2008, from IP: 128.193.15.53 Where are we going with this? What is the point? I hear we are just trying to create a name that came from the people... Why? To bring us together? If you haven't been on the Beaver Nation band wagon in the past, you haven't been a beaver fan... It's what we are known as. Sounds like someone is trying to start a revolution upon a mute point. Even if we were to change our name why do it now at the end of football season...
Dam Nation is foolish... We aren't U of O... This seems like a situation where some frat guy thought he had a good name "Dam Nation" that he surrounded with some really poor choices so he could stack to vote, and then told all his friends to vote... I guaruntee you that if there was a legitimate vote taken Beaver Nation would stand by more that 90% majority.

good good good18 November 2008, from IP: 24.21.158.255 keep voting.

Marylin18 November 2008, from IP: 98.232.180.162 I'm with matt. dam nation sounds like some crazy religious outburst. i cant come up with a particular name right now, but if you notice the name doesn't have to necessarily be beaver related. "the den" and "the pit crew" aren't exactly indicative of bruins and ducks. see where i'm going with this?

matt18 November 2008, from IP: 32.173.247.19 dam nation is horrid. Sounds like some religious spoof that will really piss people off. I say stick with beaver nation. It's something established and recognized by the school already just take the name and make it about the students just as it was intended to be.

Steph18 November 2008, from IP: 24.21.145.231 Beaver Brigade is nice, but why change something that is already established? So what if the Athletic Dept. supports Beaver Dam and/or Beaver Nation. If you say Beaver Nation people outside of Oregon may know what your talking about.... so lets just build on that, why start all over from scratch!?

Mark18 November 2008, from IP: 128.193.150.137 Beaver Brigade? That has a real nice ring to it.

Sarah18 November 2008, from IP: 24.21.145.231 Stick with Beaver Nation. As Oregon is known as the Beaver State, if you say anything about Beaver Nation, people will know where it comes from and understand it's meaning. It is already established for sports, and sort of for Corvallis as well, so why change it? I say we just work with it, and spread the idea more!

evan18 November 2008, from IP: 98.232.161.21 Pretty sure we already have Beaver Nation which is actually known by people outside of Oregon. And for the student sections, hasn't it been The Beaver Dam for years? Don't understand why you would want to change either of them

OSUMB Member18 November 2008, from IP: 128.193.15.52 I have to agree with a lot of the other people: Beaver Nation is already a great name and we do have the Beaver Dam trying to grow. The announcement at all sports events now has been about how the Beaver Dam is now present at every sport. Why don't we just keep that and help to build that group? It is supported by the athletic department, students, the band, etc. What's wrong with keeping that group and expanding on it?

ben18 November 2008, from IP: 98.232.187.189 yeah. why are you guys doing this?
beaver nation is sick.
you are really over looking a huge thing we already have. build off that.
(ps- all the names you have are pretty bad)

J18 November 2008, from IP: 98.232.177.176 were really trying to create sumtin from all student stand based, and not just by the athletic department who arent students nor athletes, so were trying to come up with sumthin new and more exciting

j18 November 2008, from IP: 98.232.177.176 wheres the link to this group?

Civil War Veteran18 November 2008, from IP: 128.193.253.82 dont we already have the beaver dam group? this sounds a lot like a group that already exists.

steve-o18 November 2008, from IP: 24.22.120.159 beaver nation is the sh*t, lets just spread the word

Party Paul18 November 2008, from IP: 24.20.237.50 i have to agree with erik, we already have a well establish nationaly recognized name of Beaver Nation. Just build on it more

Erik Pflaum18 November 2008, from IP: 98.232.180.51 What is wrong with "Beaver Nation"? I really don't see the point of creating a new name when there is already a fantastic existing name, let alone have the new name decided over a poll in which only very few people will actually have a say... Sorry if I am being overly critical but we are known around the country as "Beaver Nation" already and I think that is a great name.

outtaherein218 November 2008, from IP: 76.115.206.205 I like Beaver Dam because it already has a foundation and is setting out to do exactly what you said this new group wants to do.
